My First Coolidor

[smokepiper]

My father in law had a 50 qt cooler he got rid of. It seems to be working great. I placed a foam type humidifier and a hygrometer on the side and it is reading 64 degrees and 60%. She's just about ready to go. I've got some old boxes for singles as well as a box of Monte platinum toros and a box of Saint Louis Rey Maduro Toros ready to go in.

Let the aging continue.

Thanks for the page by the way. It was very helpful with some ideas I had not thought of.

I find my coolidor retains humidity more than my humidor. ie, I've got to add distilled water more frequently to my humidor.

I always figured that's because I open my humidor more often, and the wood "breathes" more than the coolidor's plastic.

I'd recommend opening the coolerdor every so often (weekly) just to get some fresh air in there and to make sure everything is OK.

Depending on the size of your coolerdor you might want to add a second humidifying device just so that you don't have "dry" spots.

Some folks build shelves. I just use old boxes to store my cigars.

Look, if you post that you finally got a coolerdor, you gotta post pics. It's the law
